All balanced is better, but sometimes compromise is unavoidable. My BAT preamp is all blanced inputs and outputs, but my phono preamp and amps are RCA. I used adapters for a while, but when I bought new cables I had them temrinated w/ XLR at one end and RCA's at the other. Not the same as balanced, of course, but at least it avoids an extra connection in the signal path.
Mix of RCA Balanced Cables. Is it ok?
I have been advised against using RCA and Balanced cables both in the same system. I was told that unless you have balanced cables all round, you are wasting your money. How true is this?
Does anyone know if RCA to Balance converters actually work? I think there are 2 types, one is the little plug kind and the other is a chassis kind. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
